I certify that this thesis is my own and I acknowledged that it does not contain any material previously published for a degree at the University of Queensland or any other institution, except where acknowledged and referenced. Yours sincerely, Thiam Hock Tan i Acknowledgements Acknowledgements There are a number of people that I would like to give special thanks, who have contributed to the successful completion of this thesis. My apologies are extended to anyone whom I may have inadvertently missed. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Professor Kurt Kubik and Dr Adam Postula for assisting and guiding me along this thesis. Without their help, this thesis will not reach the current stage and I greatly thank them for their precious time and efforts committed in the accomplishment of this thesis. I would like to thank Mr Bradley Houston for assisting me and helping me out regarding my doubts in MATLAB (Simulink) and help me clarify them. I also wish to thank my team mate, Mr Wai Cheng Yong who dedicated his time in the hardware so that I can concentrate in the software of this thesis to the completion of this thesis. Special thank is express to Mr Chin Chye Neo who stay up late with me in completing my thesis as we assist one another in our thesis, he is working on the “Ultra Wideband (Positioning)” thesis. He is a great motivator and has a strong sense of humour in times of difficulties to make us forget the present problems and work towards our final goal. Not forgetting to thank my dearest parents, Mdm Chee Kim Foo and Mr Eng Foo Tan who offer me the best education and taking so much pain and effort in guiding me till today. No words can represent my deepest gratitude for them. I just want to say, “It’s all within my heart”. ii Abstract Abstract Due to the modernization and advance technological advancement, days of using the street directory for navigation are soon going to be obsolete. Global Positioning System is the “Gateway to the Future”. This GPS Signal Simulator has the ability to simulate the current GPS L1 frequency at the user’s fingertips. Realistic generation of this L1 frequency allows the user to have a deeper understanding of what exactly the GPS signal is about and how it is coded and modulated. Coding of this signal is done by using the Coarse Acquisition (C/A) code. Data will spread across this C/A code before mapping onto the Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) signal. This BPSK signal is modulated onto a carrier frequency to be transported along the communication channel. To be able to receive without any signal variations is almost impossible due to the extensive distance between the satellite and the receiver unit. Therefore, demonstration of signal variation can be done by using the Doppler shift in this simulation. Doppler Shift is the variation of frequency along the communication channel and it greatly depends on the location of the satellite. If the satellite is just above the user and at the closest position relative to the user, the Doppler frequency is zero. But other than this position, all other position involves Doppler shift and thus signal variation occurs. Other than Doppler shift, this simulation can observe the autocorrelation of any of the 32 satellite’s available in the GPS constellation right now. Delay of any amount of chips can be simulated to show the autocorrelation of the lag function. With this simulation, GPS L1 signal can be analyzed and observed to assist in any future GPS development. iii Contents Contents Candidate’s Declaration …………………… ………………………………………… i Acknowledgements
